    End date

The Stephenson Avenue Extension will provide a new connection from Cedric Street to Scarborough Beach Road, including an interchange at Mitchell Freeway with a southbound Smart Freeway on-ramp, and new local road links to Ellen Stirling Boulevard. The Stirling Bus Interchange is also underway and will be delivered as part of this project.

Scope

Phase One of the project was delivered by the City of Stirling and opened in February 2022. This included construction of a new road from Scarborough Beach Road to Howe Street.

Phase Two is underway, with expected completion in late-2025. Stephenson Avenue will be extended from Howe Street to Mitchell Freeway and Cedric Street interchange, and includes a number of new local roads and shared paths.

The Stirling Bus Interchange is undergoing a major upgrade with anticipated completion in early-2026. The project will increase capacity from an 18-stand to a 29-stand facility, with a new pedestrian access between Stirling Station and the southern car park. Main Roads WA are delivering this upgrade on behalf of the Public Transport Authority.

The new southbound on-ramp to the Mitchell Freeway from Cedric Street opened late-2024 and forms part of the Smart Freeway. This runs along the alignment of the future Stephenson Avenue and will improve congestion and connectivity.
